Right.  And
http://incubator.apache.org/guides/releasemanagement.html#understanding-upload
says "podling dist dir" and links to a definition of that.  One or both of
those places should probably say that you may not create it yourself and
need instead to file a jira.

That's for two reasons: mailer config and svnwcsub setup.  I've just
made a tweak to the former - can you mkdir /release/incubator/marmotta
and confirm that your commits@ list receives a notification of that?

I'm inclined to leave the latter as-is, though: one svnwcsub line per
podling.  Which means the need for a jira ticket remains.

Can you patch the incubator docs, then?

For starters http://www.apache.org/dev/release.

There's no clear place explaining "you need to talk to us" (that's more
http://www.apache.org/dev/infra-contact#requesting-podling material),
but I suppose we could add a paragraph about that to
http://www.apache.org/dev/release#heads-up.  Or just change the authz
file so podlings _can't_ create their own dist dirs.

Done.  But leave the jira open please, svnwcsub still needs to be set up
for your ^/release area.

It's in the queue.  Actually there are about 4 "create an svnpubsub dist
dir" jiras in the queue, which is good for us (we can batch them - this
particular task isn't scripted yet).
